Andrew Cuomo Claims He's The Governor Of New York City

The ego of Sheriff Andy knows no bounds.

In another attempt to stick it to his "friend" Bill de Blasio, Cuomo has decided NYC is the perfect place for a state trooper barracks:

Gov. Cuomo is upping the ante in his battle with Mayor de Blasio — by putting a state-trooper barracks right in Hizzoner’s back yard, sources told The Post.

The governor recently sent a scouting team to Manhattan to pick a location for the new barracks, a move that sources say is clearly designed to get in Hizzoner’s face and under his skin.

“It’s just one more tit-for-tat thing between these two guys. This is [Cuomo] flexing his muscles. He said that he is also the governor of New York City,’’ a law-enforcement source told The Post.

“People are asking, ‘What would [the troopers’] responsibility be?’ Don’t forget, there are 36,000 NYPD cops. So what are they going to do? Nobody knows,’’ the source said.

Cuomo sent about 50 troopers to combat "the threat of homegrown, ISIS-affiliated terrorism" last fall.

The state houses those troopers in NYC hotels at the cost of $180 a night.

The Post says Cuomo now looks to double the number of troopers here in the city and keep them here permanently.

The clicker in all of this for me is this quote:

“It’s just one more tit-for-tat thing between these two guys. This is [Cuomo] flexing his muscles. He said that he is also the governor of New York City,’’ a law-enforcement source told The Post.

He's the governor of New York City.

Uh, huh.

Plummeting in approval ratings in both the Marist and Siena polls, falling in favorability ratings in both polls as well, Cuomo struts his stuff in a battle with de Blasio.

Pathetic.

Cuomo needs to grow up.

  1. Is this some type of Mafia war? Is Cuomo going to the mattresses on DeBlasio? DeBlasio should shift a brigade up to Albany--while they are there they should investigate some corruption--the locals have been blind to it for decades!
